Two More Squid Games Passed After Gi-Hun Won

One big question thatSquid Gameseason 2 doesn’t answer is who won the two Games that were played after Gi-hun won. While Gi-hun spent much of his resources on finding the Recruiter during the recruiting season each year,he could also have been searching for the past two winners.Granted, it might not have been an easy process to find them unless he were somehow able to find indebted people who suddenly came into the45.6 billion won prize for winning inSquid Game.

Gi-hun tells the Front Man In-ho that he plans to double down on his commitment to end the Squid Game once and for all in Squid Game season 2.

Regardless, themysteries of who won after Gi-hun, what they did with their earnings, and how they feel about the Games after returning homestill remain afterSquid Gameseason 2’s ending. The Front Man would have access to this information, and it’s already known that they’re continuing to be tracked after they leave the island, so it’s possible that Gi-hun will learn about the most recent winners in season 3.

Squid Game’s Other Winners Present A Huge Opportunity For Gi-Hun In Season 3

Gi-Hun Can Have More Supporters For His Rebellion

If Gi-hun is somehow able to track down the two most recent winners inSquid Gameseason 3’s story, then they could end up being crucial to helping him take down the Games. With the money they would all have,the winners could pool their funds to attack the game makers and organizers together, perhaps ending the Games for good. SinceSquid Gameseason 3 almost certainly returns Gi-hun to the outside world at some point, finding these other winners could be a strategic way to corroborate each other’s stories, get retribution for the dead, and hold those responsible accountable.
